After just one season as Kentucky Wildcats offensive line coach, Eric Wolford is departing Lexington and heading to Tuscaloosa to become Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide’s offensive line coach.
Wolford, a Youngstown (OH) native who came to Kentucky from South Carolina in part of his connections to Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow, helped lead the Big Blue Wall to yet another outstanding season in 2021. They were among the top o-lines in the entire country, earning them a spot as one of the Joe Moore Award finalists, awarded to the best offensive line in the country.
